Creating a Listing

By posting to our Service, you represent and warrant to prospective Buyers that: (a) you and all aspects of the listing comply with our Terms and policies; (b) you have the legal right and ability to sell or offer the goods, services or otherwise included in the listing; and (c) your listing is accurate, current, and complete and is not mislabeled, misleading or otherwise deceptive.

For sales where a Seller lists goods at a fixed price, the Seller is obligated to sell the goods at the listed price to Buyers who meet the Seller's terms.

Posting Via ‘Krrb It’ Button

By installing our Krrb It Button, you agree that you will use it solely to transfer listings (from other websites) that were created by you and that the User Content within is rightfully yours to use.

Listing On Websites Powered By Krrb

Websites powered by our Service may editorially choose not to allow certain listings. If you use one of these websites, read the "What's for Sale" section of the Buying and Selling page on their website. If you publish an allowed listing that is not allowed on their website, your listing may be removed from their website, however it will continue to display on Krrb and other websites within our Service.

Fees and Credits

Fees

It is free to use Krrb, register for an account, and make a purchase from another User. Krrb charges a fee—in the form of Krrb Credits—for publishing and promoting listings. As a registered User, you may purchase credits or earn credits for free through certain website activity. Credits are non-transferable and have no monetary value. Credits expire (1) year after receipt. If you permanently delete your account, your credits—earned and purchased— will expire immediately.

Payment of Fees

You are responsible for paying all fees and applicable taxes associated with using Krrb. Unless otherwise stated, all fees are quoted in US Dollars (USD). If you choose to pay fees with another currency, you are responsible for all bank fees associated to the payment.

Fee Refunds

If there is a problem with your listing or if Krrb removes your listing for any reason, we will return the credit(s) used for that listing. Credit purchases are non-refundable.

Certification

Users who purchase credits are marked as "Certified" for (1) year from last purchase date. Certification of a User indicates that a good faith attempt was made by Krrb to verify the User’s identity. Certification does not prove the honesty or trustworthiness of a User. Krrb may, at its sole discretion, choose to temporarily or permanently remove a User's certification status.

Hosting and Data Storage

Any information that you provide to Krrb is subject to our Privacy Policy which governs our collection and use of your information. You understand that through your use of our Service you consent to the collection and use (as set forth in the Privacy Policy) of this information, including the transfer of this information to the United States and/or other countries for storage, processing and use by Krrb.

Security

Your Password

Your Krrb account is protected by a password for your privacy and security. Your password is securely stored and Krrb does not have access to it. You need to prevent unauthorized access to your account by selecting and protecting your password appropriately, and limiting access to your computer and browser by signing off after you have finished accessing your account. You are responsible for safeguarding the password that you use to access our Service and for any activities or actions under your password, whether or not you have authorized such use. You agree to notify Krrb immediately of any unauthorized use of your account.

Protection of User Information

Krrb strives to safeguard User information by using generally accepted industry standard means of protection to ensure that User information is kept private during transmission and storage. However, no method of storage or transmission over the Internet is ever 100% secure, therefore we cannot guarantee absolute security. Unauthorized entry or use, hardware or software failure, and other factors, may compromise the security of User information at any time.

Responsible Disclosure

If you find a security vulnerability with Krrb, do not publicize it and avoid data deletion, unauthorized data access, and service disruption while testing the vulnerability you found. Contact us immediately at support@krrb.com and give us enough detail to reproduce the vulnerability.

Interfere with, or disrupt, (or attempt to do so), the access of any User, host or network, including, without limitation, sending a virus, overloading, flooding, spamming, mail-bombing Krrb, or by scripting the creation of Content in such a manner as to interfere with or create an undue burden on Krrb; or

Transmit viruses or other material designed to disrupt computer hardware or software functionality
